HOW TO PLANT FLOWERS
Put these actions into the correct order:
you water the seeds every day.
wait a few weeks for flowers to come out.
dig a hole in the soil.
a plant will grow out.
plant the seeds.

Put these actions into the correct order:
Place the seed potato chunks on the soil. They should not touch, and the cut side should be down with the eyes pointing up.
Layer the bottom of the container with a 4-6 inches of high quality soil and compost. If you didn’t dust your potato seed chunks with sulfur, you might want to amend the soil with sulfur. This will protect the spuds from rot in moist soil, deter potato bugs, and acidify the soil.
In about two weeks you should see sprouts emerging from the soil. When these sprouts are about 6-8 inches long add another layer of soil and compost around the sprouts. As the potato sprouts continue to grow, mound dirt around them. The more the sprouts grow, the more soil you add. By the end of the growing season your container will be filled with soil and potatoes.
Put another few inches of soil and compost on top of the potatoes. At this point your container will be mostly empty. Don’t worry; it will fill up soon enough.
If you’re using a container, drill drainage holes into the bottom. If you have a couple of cinder blocks or bricks on hand, then place the container on top of them for better drainage.
No matter how you grow your potatoes–in a garden or container–be mindful of their moisture level. They want to be evenly moist but not wet.

The Life Cycle of an Acorn Seedling Into a Tree
ResponderEliminarFruiting
The first stage of the acorn seedling's life is fruiting. The acorn grows on the oak tree through the spring and summer shortly after the tree has flowered in the spring. Toward the end of the summer or in early fall, fully grown acorns from white oak trees fall to the ground. Acorns from red oak trees fall during late fall or winter.
Dispersal
Acorns are heavier than many tree seeds and usually fall to the ground close to the parent tree. Acorns rarely sprout or germinate when close to the parent tree due to lack of light through the tree's canopy. This function is performed by squirrels and other rodents that scatter, hoard and eat the acorn seedlings. Those acorns left uneaten have the chance to sprout and grow into an oak tree.
Germination
Acorns need the right soil conditions to germinate and sprout. They require moist and nutrient-rich soil in a location that gets plenty of sunlight and rainfall. Given these conditions, the acorn will start to germinate and grow a taproot that pushes deep into the surrounding soil. As the taproot grows down, the acorn sends a shoot upward. This is the first stage in its transformation to mighty oak tree.
Maturation
The seedling tree faces many dangers, from hungry wildlife such as the deer to forest fires and human construction activity. If left unmolested, the seedling will gradually grow and develop into a sapling tree after four to five years. The sapling then grows into a small tree that flowers and produces its own acorns. Many oak trees can live for hundreds of years, fruiting new acorns every spring and summer.

ResponderEliminarTo plant quercus ilex from acorn:
1.- collect acorns at the beginning of autumn
2.- carry out a flotation test, to know if the seed is well
3.- hibernate the remaining acorns
4.- monitor the growth of acorns, to see if the plant goes wrong or can produce a malformation
5.- Plant each acorn in a pot or container for its best development
6.- water the quercus ilex plant
The Life Cycle of a Tomato Plant.
ResponderEliminarTomato plants belong to the plant group known as flowering plants or angiosperms. The tomato plant reproduces sexually, meaning that it requires both female and male organs to produce seeds. Every tomato seed has a tiny tomato plant inside. When the conditions are just right, tomato seeds will germinate.
SEED GERMINATION: As the seed germinates, the radicle or young root first appears and grows down into the ground. The cotyledons or seed leaves then appear and grow up towards the Sun and the young plant develops true leaves. As the plant matures, more leaves develop and flower buds form.
On mature tomato plants, flowers develop and this is where sexual reproduction occurs.
FLOWER STRUCTURE: Flowers are important for reproduction and the production of seeds. A tomato flower is sometimes referred to as a perfect flower because both male and female organs are located within the same flower. The tomato flower consists of four main parts:
1. Sepal: This part of the flower, which is green in colour, is first visible when the bud forms. It protects the flower bud before it opens.
2. Petal: This is the part of the flower that attracts bumble bees. In tomato flowers, the petals are usually yellow in colour.
3. Stamen: This is the male part of the flower. It usually consists of the filament and an anther with pollen which is found at the top of the filament. The pollen contains the male genetic information. In tomato flowers, the stamens are fused into a tube-shaped structure. They are also yellow like the petals.
4. Pistil: This is the female part of the flower. It consists of the stigma, style, and ovary and is located at the centre of the flower, surrounded by the stamens.
The female reproductive organ, the ovary, is located at the base of the pistil. The ovary contains the ovules. Once the ovules are fertilized, an embryo can develop and form seeds that will be found inside the tomato fruit.
FRUIT DEVELOPMENT: For flowers to develop into the tomato fruit that we eat, two things need to happen in the flowers: pollination and fertilization.
1. Pollination: This is a process where the pollen, from anthers, is deposited onto the stigma. This can be done by the wind (wind pollination) or by bumble bees through buzz pollination.Buzz pollination occurs when a bee lands on a flower and vibrates its flight muscles. This movement can shake loose pollen from the flower. Some of these pollen grains may land in other flowers, resulting in pollination.
2. Fertilization: During this process, the male and the female gametes, from the pollen and ovule, combine. This is similar to when sperm and egg cells combine in animals. The two gametes come together in the ovary and develop into a seed, which contains the embryo, endosperm, and seed coat. Once the seeds are formed, the tomato life cycle can begin all over again.
IS TOMATO A FRUIT OR A VEGETABLE?
Is tomato a fruit or a vegetable? From a culinary (cooking) point of view, tomato is considered a vegetable primarily because it is not sweet and not usually used in desserts. From a botanical point of view, a tomato is in fact a fruit. A fruit is defined as a part of a plant that develops from a flower’s ovary and contains seeds. Since a tomato develops from its flower’s ovary and contains seeds, then a tomato is in fact a fruit and not a vegetable.
Soil preparation for sowing
ResponderEliminar1-The first thing that we must do is clean the soil of weeds.
2- Then we remove the earth to aerate and fluff, to do this the earth can´t be dry.
3-Next we paved the earth, we have to eliminate the lumps that are formed. The area should be smooth and with a smooth texture.
4-After that, we fertilize the land, giving it enough organic matter for the survival of the future. plantation, It is advisable to prioritize the area where the root of the plants will be.
5- Finally, we will plant, taking care to doesn´t produce damage to the plants in the process.
Photosynthesis process:
ResponderEliminarPhotosynthesis is a process which plants convert sunlight into glucose and then be transform as their food.
1. First, the carbon dioxide is absorbed by staments of the leaves, and together with the water , which is absorbed by the roots, they reach the chloroplasts, where glucose is produced by the energy of light
2. Then, the oxygen is produced during this reaction, which is released into the air or water and is used for the breathing of other living beings.
3. After that, from glucose a very common sugar in fruits, sucrose, starch, cellulose, lignin or wood and other compounds are produced, which is the basis of food for the plants themselves and for the herbivores.
4. Finally, through the process of photosynthesis, solar energy is accumulated in the form of chemical compounds, which, when consumed by living beings, release this energy and serve to maintain vital processes in cells.
ResponderEliminarProcess of tree felling with chainsaw:
1. The health status of the tree will be observed.
2. The base of the tree of branches and bushes that could hinder the felling will be cleaned.
3. Observe the direction of fall and the escape route in case of emergency.
4. The address cut will be made, which is a wedge with an angle of 45º in the direction we want it to fall.
5. The fall cut will be made on the opposite side to the direction cut, leaving a small drop hinge
felling process of a tree:
ResponderEliminar1- First we have to do a preliminary planning, see if there are obstacles that can prevent us from cutting.
2- Then we will observe the fall direction of the tree and the cutting technique to be used.
3- After that, we will start the cut, always having reference to an escape route in case something goes wrong.
4-we will make a diagonal cut with 45 degrees of inclination on the fall side of the tree and a horizontal cut on the back side of this
5- Finally, with the tree on the ground, logs will be made for better transportation
To plant rosebushes in your garden, you have to follow a series of steps:
ResponderEliminar1. Autumn is the best season to plant rosebushes since at this time the warm temperature of the soil favors the development of the roots.
2. Plant the roses in a sunny area, as they need a lot of light.
3. Plant the roses in a sandy soil with clay, these being the best conditions for the growth of these flowers.
4. The night before the planting, leaves the plant submerged in water to have large amount of reserves.
5. With a shovel, make a large hole, stirring the soil well. If you need to fertilize the land, this is a good opportunity to do so.
6. Place the rose bush in the hole and cover with the earth.
7. During the next weeks, water several times a day.
8. The pruning of rosebushes is one of the most important care, so you should prune the rosebush at least once a year.
Plant the bonsai.
ResponderEliminar- If the pot does not have drainage holes, use a drill with a ceramic bit to add a hole. To prevent soil loss, cover it with a piece of screen.
- Before planting gently remove the tree from its container and inspect the roots. They will likely have grown around each other. Pull loose these tangled, skinny roots with your hands, and trim away the shaggy ends with hand shears. Also remove any brown or unhealthy roots.
- Next, find the taproot (the primary root), and cut it off. This is an important step to dwarf the plant.
- Finally, fan out and thin the roots at the base of the trunk using the rake. Always use a gentle touch with the roots.
Cover the bottom of the pot with soil. Add the tree with its roots fanned out wide. Cover the roots with soil, filling the pot evenly until the surface of the dirt is level.
How to plant a bare root pine:
ResponderEliminarFirst, choose this plant because it facilitates the root to develop naturally in the field.
Then, we must manage the plant correctly to guarantee the success of the resettlement.
Next, we must prepare the ground to remove the thicket.
After that, we set the plantation frame to perform the resettlement
Finally, we make holes in the ground and introduce the plant
To ensure your oaks stays strong and healthy, pruning the dead, diseased, and unruly branches is necessary. Understanding the pruning process makes tree trimming an easy and fun task, and leaves you with a beautiful, healthy oak.
ResponderEliminarSteps for pruning Young Oak Trees:
1. Prune young oaks in mid to late winter, or January through March
2. Prepare your tools for trimming
3. Establish a dominant leader branch
4. Make cuts outside the branch collar
5. Keep the crown of the tree full
6. Keep trimming each year to shape your tree
Quality wood
ResponderEliminarThe most crucial stage of forestry is the formation of the forest. This is achieved through rigorous processes of seed selection and genetic improvement. this is obtained with trees that have better characteristics of shape and height and structure, and other properties of forestry interest.
Firstly, the seed is planted.
Secondly, different treatments are performed in order to improve their increase.
Then, when they have 4 or 5 years, in the case of radiata pine, forest management begins (pruning and thinning) Is a decisive stage in the forest cycle. The thinnings consist in the extraction of defective trees to improve the rest. The pruning servers to eliminate the lower blanches of the trees to get a wood that has no knots.
Finally, depending on the final use of wood, the pine forests are cut at 18-20 years when their destination is cellulose and at 20-25 years when the use is sawable.
Process of planting a pine.
ResponderEliminarFirst, the forest owner has two alternatives, he can choose plant with bare root or plant in root ball. The ideal would be to choose a plant with bare root because it facilitates the root to develop naturally in the soil, in this way you get a better grip on the ground.
Then, the care in the management of the plant is a fundamental aspect to guarantee the success of the repopulation. In the transport and storage prior to planting, circumstances such as the plant being exposed to the sun or being blown by the wind should be avoided, since it will dry out. The fewer days between the acquisition of the material and its placement in the ground, the lower the stress to which the pine will be subjected.
Next, for the preparation of the land it will be necessary to do a clearing and crushing of the remains, preferably in a mechanized way with a tractor.
after that, you will be to establish the proper planting framework. The trend is to separations between rows of 3 or 3.20 meters, even higher at.
Finally, the pine plantation will be carried out. The main issues to watch when implanting the pine in the ground are two, that the root is right, in vertical, and not leave air between the ground and the root of the plant.

ResponderEliminarHOW TO TEAR DOWN A TREE?
1.- PLAN
First of all, we ask ourselves if there are any important obstacles in the area such as: power lines, roads ... if necessary, place warning signs.
2.- DIRECTION OF FALL
Next, the fall zone is determined by studying the tree and the direction of the wind. The fall zone around the tree is cleared. Also, a 45º zone behind the tree in both directions to create an escape route.
3.- TRUNK PRUNING
We prune the trunk to get rid of the big and small branches that can bother to perform the fall cut.
4.- CUTTING TECHNIQUE
We must remember before making the cut: the hinge must have a uniform thickness with the appropriate dimensions and the wedge of demolition insert it before the sword is notched.
5.- CHECK IF THE TREE HAS DISEASES
If there are diseases, the felling is carried out in the direction of natural fall of the tree. It is knocked down leaving the tocon higher than normal.
THE PROCESS OF RECYCLING
ResponderEliminarFirst, people buy food like cartons of milks, cans of coke, jars of pre-cooked vegetables and other goods like batteries at the supermarket.
Then, after making use of these products, people throw the waste material or things that are no longer needed or wanted into different containers. The blue bin is for paper, the yellow one for plastic, and the green bin for glass. Oils or batteries must be thrown into special bins.
Next, the collection trucks collect the rubbish from the bins to be recycled at the recycling company.
After that, the waste material is classified according to their properties and manufactured to be re-used.
Finally, people can buy new products made from recycled material and the recycling process starts again.

ResponderEliminarThe repopulation and its phases:
EliminarA repopulation is the set of techniques that need to be applied to create a forest mass, formed by woody plant species (trees or shrubs), whose current vegetation is inefficient and which fulfills the purposes demanded of it.
Phases;
First, select the repopulation method for project effectiveness.
Then, select the appropriate species that adapt to the study area.
Next, choice of the origin of the seed to be compatible with the climatology of the area.
After that, prepare the land
Finally, plant the seeds
Management of trees and post-repopulation care is also important.
HOW TO EXTRACT PINE RESIN
ResponderEliminarFirst, locate some mature pine trees that you can obtain access to.
Secondly, gather the necessary tools for your project. You will have to have a tool for cutting the bark of the tree, a catch pan, and a container to gather the collected sap into.
Next, choose a tree to make your tap into. Look for large, tight-barked trees to have the best results.
Then, hack the bark away from the sap (live) wood about 3 foot (0.9 m) above the ground, and about 10 inches (25.4 cm) wide, by chopping the bark away with your machete, hatchet, or other chopping tool.
After that, fit your collecting bucket tightly, so that when the sap begins to seep out, it will drip into it.
Hack some shallow notches in a "V" shape, with the point of the "V" directly above the center of your bucket.
Finally, remove any nails or other metal fasteners when you are finished your project and take down your collection pot.
5 EASY STEPS TO PLANTING A TREE
ResponderEliminar- Identify the Trunk Flare: the trunk flare is the part of the tree where the trunk begins to widen before forming the root ball.
- Dig a hole that is 2-3 times wider than the root ball: the hole shouldn’t be very deep; it should only be as deep as the root ball itself.
- Place the tree in the hole: making sure that the container or wire basket as been removed, the tree sits at the appropriate height, and that the tree sits straight inside the hole.
- Backfill the hole: backfill the hole with the original soil, making sure to pack the soil around the root ball’s base to stabilize it.
- Mulch the base of the tree: mulching provides protection from lawn care equipment, maintains moisture and temperature of the soil, and provides nutrition to the trees as it decays.
Germination of wheat seed.
ResponderEliminar1. Plan the crop.
The first thing is the organization. It will help you plan your crop in the best way. Remember that to have your first cultivation cycle you should wait between 10 and 15 days. You will need to.
1. 3 large culture trays with holes.
2. 300 grams of organic wheat seeds.
3. ecological substrate for plants.
2. Soak and germinate the wheat.
Then you have to place the organic wheat seeds in a bowl with water for 16 hours. After that time we germinated the seeds of wheat for 24 hours.
3. Plant and wait.
The next step is to add substrate to the trays evenly 2 centimeters high. The important thing is to leave a good base that maintains humidity. Spread the germinated seeds. Water with plenty of water. Cover the trays with a damp cloth.
4. Expose to light.
After this the buds will reach a height of two centimeters. It is time to place the trays near the window so that they receive sunlight during their growth. You should also keep the moisture so that the substrate does not dry out.
5. Cut.
Finally once they have reached the correct size the wheat shoots are cut from their base without dragging substrate
green beans production process
ResponderEliminar1 we prepare the earth by adding manure and tilling
2 ridges are made 30-40 cm deep and separated 60-70cm
3 the seeds are put to germinate in water two days or they are sown directly in blows of 3-4 seeds
4 the water is administered through pipes through drip irrigation
5 these begin to emerge and we must help them by scraping the hard layer of the earth
6 when they are born and have 15-30 centimeters they are placed a tutor to guide them up
7 we should apply phytosanitary treatments to avoid the red spider, pulgon and fungi
8 when they have reached maturity they produce white flowers that give rise to beans
9 when the pods reach 20 cm are suitable for cutting and consuming them
